Stupid question of the day

The other night in Judo class there was a new guy. He claimed to have done just about everything MA related including BJJ. During warmup he looks at me and one of the brown belts and asks "Have you guys ever done any grappling?"

Say no, then proceed to Seio Nage him 100 times in a row. Then say, that was just warmup

Thats a "Heres your sign" type of question.

Well?

Do you grapple?

Flees flying bricks. . . .

What did you reply out of interest? I'm not sure I could come up with something cutting enough for that, if put on the spot. I imagine my jaw dumbly hanging open for a while.

He came today again.
He's ok, just not very articulated and extremely out of shape.
But if he keeps coming we'll get him there.
People come to judo with all kinds of stereotypes/misinformation.
There was this one guy that didn't believee we do armbars...

So, this is funny because Judo is a swordfighting style, right?

Really? I would have bet money I'd never see him again.

As long as he keeps coming back he'll be fine.

I just blinked a couple of times and said "Judo is grappling."
